Spring Nesting Season

I had a strange visitor to my backyard picnic table last week.  Perhaps migrating back from a warmer climate? Maybe Irene and Jan gave him a heads up on a good place to camp out for the summer. He's very trusting. Cubby thought we should help him build a nest and went around finding twigs and leaves in the yard while carefully avoiding the Gennie land mines. I wonder when the Mrs will arrive at her summer home?

We go on 'CATION?

This week was Spring Break at LCC.  It would have been fun to travel to some exotic, warm, tropical climate but alas that was not to be.  We did make an overnight excursion to Shipshewana, IN, where we spent the night at Splash Universe. Cubby had an absolute ball! The blue area in the front of the picture is the entrance to the toddler pool - 8" deep. Not for Cubby! He wanted to go down the yellow, blue and orange slides. Even the blue slide being a closed tunnel didn't phase him. Claire would go with him to the top, make sure the slide was clear and send him down. I'd be at the bottom and pull him out. Then we would wait for mom to come down. After awhile, he wanted mom and gamma gamma to change places. Yes, another one of those things you only do for your grandkids. Gamma gamma went down the slides too.

The next morning we spent another couple of hours at the pool and then on to Yoder's and Lolly's. I found some new Ricky Tim's fabric that I hadn't seen before and a $5.00 bag of really nice batik scraps. I kept telling myself to exercise restraint because Chicago was only a month away.

Friday was also my dad's birthday so we stopped in Kzoo for presents and Happy Birthday Quality Dairy doughnuts. Now it's back job hunting and homework but it was a good mini vacation

Fifty Degrees Tomorrow!!!

Can you guess what this is?

A doggie snow angel of course!

Gennie and I are certainly enjoying this break in the winter weather. This week is also going to be Spring Break at LCC. Not exactly Florida or Mexico but Lansing shouldn't be too bad this week. Enjoying the sunshine but it sure shows the dirt on the windows.
